The Brotherhood of Balaam

One man sold stones that he claimed 
he brought from Jerusalem in a church 
I once attended! He sold it to business 
people claiming if they put it in the 
corner of their shop or office, they 
would become blessed mysteriously 
I told him after the service that he is 
a thief and a robber! 
I was 19 years old and I wasn’t a 
born again Christian but I know the 
scriptures 
He was in his forties and people 
addressed him as Pastor! 
He said he will curse me I said I will 
stone him 
My mother and many other people had 
to plead with me to let it go 
They said I was young and didn’t 
know what I was doing! 
My mother’s friend, a widow, who 
was at the meeting with us bought 
this stone because her last son was 
living an aimless life and squanders 
whatever was invested on him 
The woman invested in a fish pond 
business for him and wanted him to
Prosper 
The fish pond closed down after the 
first harvest 
The stone she bought sat in the office 
laughing at both mother and son as 
their hope was shattered 
I met the pastor again at a church called 
Christ pillar some years later, this time 
I was a fellowship leader on campus and
I accompanied my mother to a weekday 
prayer meeting When the pastor arrived 
in his Toyota Crown 
I recognized him immediately, I told my 
mother 
I cannot sit under his ministration of 
mammon! 
I stepped out of the church and prayed 
Father, please address this man’s 
deception today
He is making a fool of the gospel and 
a mockery of the Lord Jesus! 
I sat across the street while he ministered 
When he was done, he got in his car 
and started driving away 
We heard a screech and a crash! 
He had slumped behind his steering 
wheel within a minute of leaving the
Church 
He was rushed to the hospital from there 
He had a stroke 
He never recovered 
The funny thing was many pastors engage 
his services to raise funds for their church 
projects 
They claimed he was anointed to raise 
money for kingdom work and for that 
reason brought him to peddle lies to 
their congregation 
Such men are everywhere 
Mocking the Holy Spirit every day by 
climbing altars and feeding lies to God’s 
people in order to amass wealth 
When I was working as a PA with 
several men of God 
I saw so much
Sometimes there was a negotiation 
with the church
Pastors based on percentages! 
The “money raiser” and the church 
pastor sat down to discuss how to 
share the loot even before service began 
The discussion will determine how 
much effort the “money-raiser” will put 
into the scheme! 
Shamback and many others in America 
pioneered this gospel of falsehood 
Giving to God’s work has always been 
a willing thing even in the Old Testament 
God loves a cheerful giver God loves a 
willing offering God is a giver and he 
encourages us daily to be like Him 
There was no biblical basis for sowing 
seeds to get the gifts of God
All things belong to us in Christ Jesus 
We are not hoping to activate promises 
As believers, we are already living in the 
fulfilled promises of God for this time 
and season 
If your gospel is sound, you will not 
be fooled 
Many are fooled because they keep 
searching for a short cut to spiritual 
realities 
They don’t want to know God but 
they want to enjoy the full blessings 
in him 
These mammon preachers encourage 
them to keep their ungodly lifestyles 
while acting as their mediators before 
God 
A pastor once said to me “They said 
we shouldn’t pray for drug barons
And Yahoo Yahoo fraudsters! 
Is it the tithe of salaries of 9-5
workers that we will depend on? 
How much is tithe? 
How much comes to pastors? 
If we will make it in life we must go 
where the honey is! 
Look at Baba "So and So", he prayed for 
a young man who carried Heroin to 
so and so country! 
When the guy returned after a successful
trip he did thanksgiving with four coaster
busses and 100 million Naira cash! 
The children of those forming 
“Holy, Holy" are benefitting from the 
scholarship scheme started by the  
Baba with the fund he got from that 
thanksgiving! 
We should be wise
The scriptures says “The servant 
applied wisdom” 
Don’t let us die poor in the name of 
self-righteousness. 
We cannot spend gold and silver in 
heaven! 
It is on earth that such things are
useful! 
If I have my way, I will pray for armed 
robbers as long as I get my cut out of
Their loot. Are politicians not sponsoring
the gospel from their stolen funds? 
Have you ever heard a church say no 
to a politician's money in spite of all 
the atrocities we all know politicians
get involved in? 
Think about this thing” 
The man that made that speech didn’t 
last the month 
He slept one day and died of cardiac 
arrest 
Demons must have heard him and got 
terrified of his ambitions! 
They quickly took their rival home before
he will take over their jobs. 
I have sown seeds before and I still
sow seeds today! 
I lend to the widows, orphans and the
Fatherless! The stranded, the destitute 
and the helpless 
Those in prison, the hungry, the sick and 
the defenseless 
The abandoned and the rejected 
Missionaries and the work of God 
Especially ministries the Holy Spirit says 
I should bless with His money that 
He kept in my custody!
Have you ever given to a pastor before 
and you felt like you were robbed? 
I have and that feeling was so sinking 
I swore never to feel it again 
When you give to the Lord you are 
happy, light, elated and you feel fulfilled 
You don’t even ask for anything in return! 
You just do it!
Jesus told his disciples “Freely have 
you received, freely give” 
Many of us know this but some still felt
there was a hidden code in there 
somewhere 
Like the Pharisees, we suffer because 
we seek for more than was written and 
refused to accept the obvious even 
when it is staring at us! 
A guy I went to secondary school with 
would pose as a travel agent and defraud 
people in the name of helping them to 
get visas and all 
Unfortunately, he duped a lot of out 
secondary school mates 
Nobody knew where he disappeared to 
so many of his victims reached out to me! 
They wanted me to pray and get him to 
refund their money 
I waited because he always reached 
out to me when things are difficult for 
him financially 
He eventually did, claiming his baby 
needed food and he had nothing on him 
I asked him why he kept duping people 
He said “I sow my seed and I pay my 
tithe dedicatedly but God has refused 
to bless me!” 
Won’t I survive? 
Wow! I asked him which church he attends 
He said he doesn’t go to church but he 
sent me the transfer receipts of all his 
seed and tithe to a church 
To him, as long as he gives God money, 
it doesn’t matter what he does or how 
he lives his life 
This is what the gospel of the takers 
brought to us 
Ironically, many of believers with a
performance mentality buy into this
gospel as a form of short cut
A woman once brought her 21 year
old daughter to my house
At the time I was an assistant parish 
pastor
The lady had written JAMB four times
without any success
We prayed
She bought another form
We bought her past questions and
coached her for many months
A day to the examination we had a
vigil in church
The pastor's wife invited a prophet
whom she knew from somewhere to
the church
her husband had to go along lest he
incurred her wrath
This prophet spoke eloquently
At the end of the sermon, he asked for
anointing oil
He drew ten huge circles on the 
church alter with the oil
Those with heavy seeds were invited
to come and stand in the circle
This church was a poor church
The lady we were coaching couldn't
afford a proper teacher
She was one of the first to step into
the huge circle
The cost of that action was twenty
thousand naira
Many people did it
The prophet made over five hundred
thousand Naira during that vigil
The lady wrote the examination and 
passed in flying colours
She shared the testimony of how the
prophet's anointing worked wonders
in her life
This is what many of us bought as 
Christianity 
This is the delusion that will cost many 
dearly at the end of the day 
The gospel of the belly shall be judged 
and so shall it’s adherents
The gospel of Jesus Christ is a message 
too good to be true 
Your sins have been forgiven 
Your yokes have been broken 
You have the Holy Spirit living in you 
Walk as Jesus walked and you will 
rule and reign in this life 
Greater is He that is in you than 
He that is in the world 
Glory

PS: Stop sowing battle seed or any
seed for that matter to any pastor or
ministry unless instructed directly by
the Holy Spirit 
Get to know the Holy Spirit and build 
your relationship with him 
Battle seed and juju are the same thing 
Christianity is a life, not a talisman 
Jesus came that you might have life 
and have it abundantly 
Stop chasing shadows and calling it 
wisdom
You cannot use money to close a bad 
season or open a good season 
Chai 
Apostle 
Stop this heresy 
Jesus said “Whatever you ASK the 
Father in my NAME!” 
Please 
We were given the key to the House of 
David in Christ 
Whatever we open no one can shut and 
whatever we shut no man can open!”
Don’t sow seed to activate any spiritual gift 
If you paid for the Holy Spirit to start 
working in your life then the price 
Jesus paid for your salvation was a joke 
Pastors who preach this rubbish are greedy 
and wicked parasites! 
The anointing of the Holy Spirit is freely
yours in Christ
Once you give your life to Christ and
receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit
Start building a conscious relationship
with the Holy Spirit
You will be surprised how dramatically
your reality will change   

PS: Acts 8: 9 Now for some time a man 
named Simon had practiced sorcery in 
the city and amazed all the people of 
Samaria. 
He boasted that he was someone great, 
10 and all the people, both high and low, 
gave him their attention and exclaimed, 
This man is rightly called the Great 
Power of God.” 
11 They followed him because he had 
amazed them for a long time with his 
sorcery. 12 But when they believed 
Philip as he proclaimed the good news 
of the kingdom of God and the name 
of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, 
both men and women. 
13 Simon himself believed and was 
baptized. And he followed Philip 
everywhere, astonished by the great 
signs and miracles he saw.

14 When the apostles in Jerusalem 
heard that Samaria had accepted 
the word of God, they sent Peter and 
John to Samaria. 
15 When they arrived, they prayed 
for the new believers there that they 
might receive the Holy Spirit, 
16 because the Holy Spirit had not 
yet come on any of them; they had 
simply been baptized in the name 
of the Lord Jesus. 
17 Then Peter and John placed 
their hands on them, and they 
received the Holy Spirit.
18 When Simon saw that the Spirit 
was given at the laying on of the 
apostles’ hands, he offered them 
money 19 and said, “Give me also 
this ability so that everyone on 
whom I lay my hands may receive 
the Holy Spirit.”
20 Peter answered: “May your money 
perish with you, because you thought 
you could buy the gift of God with 
money! 21 You have no part or share 
in this ministry, because your heart 
is not right before God. 
22 Repent of this wickedness and 
pray to the Lord in the hope that 
he may forgive you for having such 
a thought in your heart. 
23 For I see that you are full of 
bitterness and captive to sin.”
24 Then Simon answered, “Pray to 
the Lord for me so that nothing you 
have said may happen to me.”
